Perhaps the biggest surprise at Microsoft’s recent Xbox 360 spring showcase was the announcement of Fable: Heroes for Xbox Live Arcade.

Built by some of Lionhead’s biggest Fable fans, Heroes pays homage to many of the series’ past high points while creating its own fun and original experience. It features a charming cartoonish aesthetic, set in what appears to be a child’s board game. I mean, just look at how cute Hammer is in doll form.
